Stassi Schroeder Dishes on Her Single Life: "I Actually Didn’t Know How Independent I Was"

The #PumpRules podcaster has switched up her approach to dating.

By Laura Rosenfeld

Stassi Schroeder showed her emotional side when she revealed her decision to break up with longtime boyfriend, Patrick Meagher, during an episode of her Straight Up with Stassi podcast in July.

How to Watch

Watch Vanderpump Rules on Bravo Tuesdays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.  

Fast forward a few months, and it doesn't sound like the single life has been all that bad for the Vanderpump Rules pal. In fact, Stassi recently revealed to PEOPLE Now that she's dating, and the experience "has been a lot of fun." She added, “I’ve had a really good time. I’m like, actively trying not to do what I normally do, which is just jump right into a relationship.” 

Taking that time out for herself has been empowering for Stassi. “I actually didn’t know how independent I was, and that’s been really cool [to discover],” she shared. “When you’re just alone all the time, you really do learn that you can handle sh**.” 

Well, we always kind of knew Stassi is one strong woman. But does her former SUR boss Lisa Vanderpump think she holds too much power over the Vanderpump Rules crew? Find out, below.
